Math problems! Please help I am so confused.?

Question

Ok keep in mind that this is Algebra II.

What does evaluate mean? The problem is (5/8)(3x-6)-(6-4x) and then she says to evaluate it.? What am I supposed to do?

Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 1

simplify it, and try to find out what x is.

Answer 2

do the order of operations

(5/8)(3x-6)-(6-4x)

distributive property

15/8x-30/8-6+4x

combine like terms

47/8x-78/8

and reduce if possible

47/8x-39/4

there you go

Answer 3

I am so sorry but I have absolutely no idea.

Good luck

Answer 4

Look at it and determine that yes, it is a math problem. Now that it is evaluated.

Solve as far as you can.

Answer 5

Simplify it.

You cannot solve it because there is no equal sign.  Just combine the like terms.
